This is to determine the final film in my WWII marathon, not the final film to be watched, but the final film to be added.

Are you at all intrigued by this title, Bill?  I can't vouch for it yet (though it might sneak its way into the 1960s World Cinema marathon), but I've seen very few of these poll options, so I might end up voting sight unseen anyway.

Enemy at the Gates, not because it's better than everything else on that list, but more because I think it was undeservedly overlooked and is worth anyone's time.
-Le Chiffre: You changed your shirt, Mr Bond. I hope our little game isn't causing you to perspire.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

You, I and Smirnoff are on an island all by our own.

I voted for the I Was Nineteen, though I suppose one of the two James Jones adaptations should take it.

Maybe I'll watch The Dam Busters off my DVR this weekend to try to complicate matters further.
